Pro-gun control White House traded world's biggest gun trafficker to war-torn Russia: Former DEA Director

Former DEA Special Operation Director Derek Maltz, who was involved in Viktor Bout's capture, slammed the White House for their "ironic" prisoner swap, arguing that it's "disgusting" for the Biden administration to tout gun control but also celebrate the release of the world's biggest gun trafficker back to Putin's arsenal. 
 

The announcement for the controversial exchange came on Thursday, and just a few hours later, WNBA star Brittney Griner and Viktor Bout were boarding their respective planes back to their home country. 

"Putin has just established a new tool for corrupt leaders around the world that can hold Americans hostage because they know, and they will take advantage of the weakness of our policies in America. We're going soft on criminals, and we're not being supportive of global security issues. And law enforcement is being put on the side," Maltz said on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
